Add to favorites
  • You start the evening by picking up your date and revealing your Epicurean Movie Marathon idea. The excitement starts building as you both reach the rooftop cinema venue. Set against the vibrant city nightscape, the rooftop cinema brings a new dimension to your typical movie night.
  • A well-curated list of movies awaits you - each paired with a gourmet meal inspired by its story or theme. Imagine eating the Ratatouille while watching 'Ratatouille' or the infamous 'Beef Bourguignon' while watching 'Julie & Julia'. The delightfully thematic and immersive atmosphere keeps the excitement alive throughout the date.
  • As the final movie rolls, you both lay back, enjoying the late-night breeze and a dessert inspired by the movie youโ€™re watching. The laughter, the shared taste experience, and the casual setting make it easy for you both to bond and enjoy this uniquely fun date.

Preparation steps:

  • While you don't need to cook the meals or run the films, some preparation will help in making this date flawless. First, pick a selection of films. They can be your date's favorites, your favorites, or a mix of the two. Make sure you pick films that have food scenes or ones where food is pivotal to the story. This will provide the culinary inspiration for the meals.
  • Next, connect with a local restaurant or chef who can prepare and deliver the meals at the right time. Share the list of movies with them, and ask them to surprise you both with dishes inspired by each movie. You can also opt for ready-made gourmet meals for simplicity or if budget is a concern.
  • Lastly, rent an open-air rooftop cinema. If this is not available, you can look for a drive-in theater or setup a projector and screen in your own backyard. Make sure it's a comfortable and warm setting with plenty of blankets and pillows.

Some tips:

  • Check the weather forecast in advance to avoid rainy or too chilly nights. The date might need rescheduling if the weather is not favorable. Once you do choose the night, dress warmly and comfortably, as it can get a bit chilly in September.
  • Although the date is already a surprise, try and keep the meal choices a secret too, for each dish revealed with the corresponding movie will add an element of surprise and excitement.
  • Donโ€™t rush through the movies and the meals. The goal is not to watch as many movies as possible or eat endlessly but to enjoy the blending of taste and vision. Engage in casual and fun conversations about the food, movies, or your shared interests during the breaks. Remember, it's about enjoying the evening, the company, and creating new memories together.
